Fade dynamic textbox (alpha)

1

ok… i’ve searched the board and found several threads on this issue, but somehow i couldnt find an answer to my problem though…

i want to fade a dynamic textbox which contains “News”… anyway…

the news.swf is loaded into a MC… but… as a matter of fact i dont want to fade the whole movie clip…

so… how to fade a textbox… i cant do it the same way i usually fad buttons… with simply tweening the alpha value… cuz there is no alpha value change option with the textbox…

any solutions??..

thx in advance…

yours sincerly

make a movie clip from the dynamic textbox, and then you can “alpha” that movie clip :wink: (with AS or like You do the buttons)

textfield instance name myText
After it has loaded into your Mc(i called container)

container.myText.text = “whatever”;
function fade() {
container.myText._alpha -= 1;
if (container.myText._alpha<=0) {
clearInterval(myInterval);
}
}
myInterval = setInterval(fade, 50);

EDIT/don`t forget to embed font outlines
